History

A pair of houses facing but well back from Church Lane. Glanaber is dated 'T T / 1861', but is likely to be later than Llwyn Onn, the style of which it copies, but with reduced width. Although the front elevation of the completed pair approximates to regularity, it responds to the irregular siting by Glanaber being a little narrower and deeper than Llwyn Onn, so the two houses are of roughly equal size. The pair are in their completed form contemporary with Bronwylfa to their rear, facing Winllan Road, so they are as a completed group an interesting example of informal back-to-back house planning at a late date prior to the general adoption of building byelaws under the 1875 Act.

Exterior

The appearance of the brickwork of Glanaber is a little more regular and less weathered than that of Llwyn Onn, suggesting it may be a later building copying the style of Llwyn Onn. Glanaber differs in being narrower and lacking a dentil cornice.

Interior

Interior not seen.
